This isn’t true at all — vaccines ARE studied extensively for safety. No objection to more but studies are 100% there. So much for pre-confirmation “assurances”. If Cassidy, Collins and Murkowski had joined McConnell, the extremely powerful HHS Secretary would be someone else.

Trump has now promised not to cut Social Security, Medicare OR Medicaid. That's going to make the House budget math very difficult.

DOGE cuts the lease on FDA's 52k sq-ft St. Louis pharma quality lab - unclear if the 70 scientists will be cut. One worker at the lab tells me it serves all of OPQ and other FDA offices, "I’m not even sure how the logistics of relocating would even work" endpts.com/doge-shutters-…

New terrible NIH policy just dropped: “It is the policy of NIH not to prioritize research activities that focuses gaining scientific knowledge on why individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated and/or explore ways to improve vaccine interest and commitment...”

American pharmaceutical companies should actually pay a bit of tax in the United States. In 2024, they didn't -- or to be more precise, they didn't set aside any funds to cover their expected US tax liability on their 2024 income. A new blog 1/ cfr.org/blog/american-…
